| The closing exercises of the primary
grades at Jefferson School, Sixteenth and

and members of the Board of Education.
The scholars were marched into the room
and seated with as much precision as we'll
drilled military companies, each teacher in
charge of her respective class. The excer-
cises, considering the ages of the pupils were
excellent, and reflected much credit on the
several teachers in charge, testifying to the
fact that they had been instructed and
drilled most thoroughly.
The programme was as follows Greet

With much discretion and some little
Judgment, he concluded to hire hickman
to drive him around until the effects of the
many rotations should disappear. Ten
dollars were paid, and the hackman
started over cobbles and planking. and con-
tinued the drive for an hour or two. The
doctor finally alighted for few minutes,
and on returning to the hack got in the
wrong one, and commanded the Jehu to
drive on, which he did, hour after hour
When the end came it was attended with

Held by the Enemy"

Next Monday evening at the Metropoli-
tan Theater. and for that evening only, will
be presented one of the most successful of
American plays, Held by the Enemy
story of the late war written by William
Gillette. 1t will be presented with the
same caste and effects as seen at the Madi-
son Square Theater, New York, where it
had run of 100 nights at the Boston
Theater, Boston, of IS nights and four
weeks at the Baldwin Theater. San Fran
cisco, where it played one of the most sue
cessful engagements ever known at that
house. To Mr.. Gillette Held by the
Enemy" is what Ny Partner" has been
to BARLEY Campbell-it has made him ia
nous. And looking at it from the stand
point of that production, the author of
Held by the Enemy" must to-day be
placed in the foremost rank of American
dramatists. The play is simple but brill
liant piece of dramatic work The scene is
laid in Virginia during the war, but it is
not generally regarded as a war drama,
although the leading characters concerned
in it are soldiers on both sides of the line.
No attempt is made TO appeal to patriotism,
Northern men are not made to suffer in
Southern prisons, and its very careful and
sk1llful construction makes it as acceptable
IN the North as in the South, for through
out five acts no feelings of sectionalism or of
the old hatred are aroused The sale of
seats commences Saturday and at regular
prices. The company go from here direct
to New York, and the engagement is limit
ed 10 positively one night

Swimming Baths for Sacramento.

EDS. RECORD I MON l was much inter
ested in communication upon this sub
iect in the RECORD UNION of Tuesday hy
Richard Dale, in which he sets forth the
great need of this city for a place where
our boys and girls and also men and
women may safely indulge in the neces-
sary and healthful recreation of swimming.
In addition to the cogent reasons he ad-
vances let us add that of safety to human
lives, for each bathing season upon our
river is associated with the sad loss of num-
bers of boys and men. full list of whom
would swell into the hundreds 1t is now
late TO attempt to erect suitable structures
for free and safe bathing and swimming
this season. but nor is the time to begin
an effort which will give US. next spring, a
free city bathing establishment, which can
be made a credit to our new Sacramento.
As Mr.. Dale is no doubt a member of the
Improvement Association" allow me to
suggest that he start the ball rolling at its
monthly meeting next Tuesday and sug-
gest way, either by a stock company or
city aid, to carry out his plans.

on Front street and the lease of the block
of land between the passenger depot and
Water Works building, which it is pro-
posed to turn into an orange grove and

them, as he always is any one from Saera-
nento. He promised the committee that
he would in few days attend to all their
requests, and that they should be granted.
Mr.. Fillmore will come to the city and see
what is needed in the way of wharf i'm
